REGULAR MEETING APRIL 12, 1976 3. Free parking can be made available in both Parking Gara es at a charge ---'of `$50.00 for the Colfax Garage and.U00_.00 for the Jefferson Garage on Saturday, July 3 and a charge of $50.00 for each garage for July 4. It is my recommendation that free parking not be allowed in the garages on Monday, July 5 because of the conflict with monthly parkers. 4. The Century Center site cannot be made available for free parking. This is a construction site and the hazard resulting from the movement of equipment and material on the site, along with the potential restriction of construction activities if parking were to be allowed, make this impractical. 5. The City cannot make available free parking in Block Six. At the present time, it appears that the purchaser of this area will be in actual possession of certain parcels that would preclude access to any potential parkers there. 6. -The Police Department, Fire Department, City Attorney's Office and the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting will be advised of the Board's action regarding this matter and will be kept informed regarding the proposed schedule. Those departments can be expected to cooperate with the River Bend Plaza office in the promotion of this event. s/ Rollin E.

TAXI DRIVER'S LICENSE DENIED - HARVEY MILTHALER The Board received a recommendation from Peter H. Pullen, City Controller, that the application of Harvey Milthaler for a taxi driver's license be denied, because Mr. Milthaler did not list previous arrests and convictions on the application.
